Sharon K. Gillenwater never expected to sell the company she founded for $25 million.
But that’s exactly what happened to this former working-class kid when she and her business partner sold her baby, Boardroom Insiders, in 2022.
Of course, it hasn’t been one smooth ride to the top.
That journey has been rife with challenges that Gillenwater so eloquently describes in her just released memoir, Scaling with Soul: How I Built and Sold a $25 Million Tech Company Without Being an A**hole, which I’m oh so proud to say that Legacy Launch Pad has published.
In this episode, we talk about her many peaks and valleys, starting with when she only realized she didn’t know what the seventh-grade class secretary did once she was elected to the position through realizing that she had the luxury of failing because of what her family had done for her.
Get all that and more in this episode and you can grab Sharon’s spectacular new book here.
